As TO PRICES.

We understand that several ranchmrn
are disposing of their oats at 81 90 per
hundred pounds, and that dealers expect
even a lower price to PREVAIL They may
be correct, but if they are the farmer
himself will be the most to blame for
the unnecessary condition of affairs A
close scrutiny of the current price lists
of grain in the east fails To find cereals
depreciating with the same rapdity as
they are in Bozeman. If the farmers
persist IN rushing in their grain as soon
as it is threshed or contracting with
willing dealers even before it Is all har.
vested, they must expect to get the very
lowest price of the year, and deserve to
get it, because they not only do them
selves an injustice, but they glut our
limited market to the detrment of every
other raiser. We truly believe that
prices will be almost as high as they
were last year, certainly not any lower
than they are at present for any length
of time, no matter if every available
warehouse in town is filled to overflow
ing, We have noticed during the past
five years that the farmer who held his
grain until mid-winter or early spring
always got the highest prices,--prices
that paid big interest on the money in
vested from harvest until the crop was
sold. There is no need of q senseless S
panic in this particular at present; the
conditions are such that fair prices must
prevail, and if you will take the time to
consider You must admit that such is the

The payment of interest on registered
bonds goes steadily onward-the amount
paid on to date being about seventy mil
lion dollars. 1t is stated that future ap-
plication for advanced interest will be
delayed as little as possible. Since Aug.
1st, the receipts of the government are
about fifteen million dollars in excess of
the disbursement bat it Is estimated
that the heavy pension payments ofthis
month will require considerably larger
sum than the surplus that accumulated
during the present month. After all
obligations are promptly met the sur
plus still rersistently piles up and per.
manent relief can only be expected from
the act of Congress next winter. Dispos.
ing of the surplus is the vtal question
of the times, and the public un-
questionably demands the early solution
of that momentous problem, and we
have confidence that the combined
sagacity of President Cleveland and a
Democratic Congress will be equal to the
emergency, DESPITE the gloomy predic-
tions of the chronic crokers.

Before leaving upon his vacation
Secretary Whitney took the most i'm.
portant step that has been taken since
the late war in rebuilding the navy by
awarding several large contracts amount
ing TO about five million dollars, for the
construction of three steel cruisers and
two gnnboats, one Of the former, as pro.
vi,ieI by the act of congress, will be built
at San Francisco. while the assignees of
John Roach will build the gunboats.
The Navy Department has awarded to
the Barron Ship building Company, of
London, England, the price of SIS 900
for furnishing the best designs for build
ing a battle-ship authorized by special
act of congress, and board of Naval
officers has been appointed to carefully
consider tie report as to the possibility
of the plans being carried out.

HORSE RACING IN HELENA.

The directors of the Helena racing as
soclation, who personally managed the
annual races, are gentlemen in all that
the word implies. As proof we need
only state that Messrs. Tatem and A. J.
Davidson are among said directors. But
Notwithstanding this fact, we were
edto believe that the races of this wear,
as far as we could see, lacked that degree
of honesty and squareness which should
characterize them, inasmuch us people
are called from all parts of the territory
and are likely to carry away with them
a bad impression of the town. The
directors and managers were on the
alert to detect crookedness, but were
unable to do 30 and in consequence
while they themselves seemed to share
the dominant feeling, they were power
less to check or mitigate it. We had
hoped that the apparent back-set giren
to pulling" and "cat'hopping" at Butte
would exercise Wholesome effect upon
the Helena races and the unrighteous
proceedings of former years meet with a
pronounced rebuke, that honest horse
men with promising horses might show
t. the territory the interest they had
t.ken in raising good horse flesh. In
stead, however, the professional jockey.

OFFICIAL NEGLIGENCE.

II is understood that certain contracts,
let for the survey of agricultural lands
in Montana have been disapproved in
Washington, because they were not is
sued previous to July 1st last. The
money to pay these contracts was aT.pro-
priated for the fiscal year ended June
3Oth, lSS1. The portion distributed to
Montana was fifteen thousand dollars
Under the rules this amount could be
expended only during the fiscal year fol
which the appropriation was made, any
surplus being converted back to the
United States treasury. Therefore con-
tracts to Dc paid for out Of this sum
made after June 30, were drawn upon
no fund and were null and void. Ii is
said that nearly the entire $4,000 will
thus be recovered back into the treasury
Independent.
The CHRONICLE, two weeks ago, pub.
lished an item calling attention to the
above fact and expire sod belief that
parties IN Helena wera blamablA. The
Independent seems to concur in our de.
ductons and it is now in order for some
one to make an explanation. Surveys in
Montana are urgently demanded, and
Sl500O would very inadcquately rcmun-
crate those who perform the work re-
quired. Yet it would have done con.
siderable, AMI if used iudiciouslv thrown
great dea! ofghol land into the hands
of settlers. To have no work done at
all in this direction is a burning shame
and we earnestly hope that the blame
may he placed upoa the shoulders of
those whose negligence is 50 rulpablr,
and they made to snlrr at leas, the ron
demnation of all who are deeply inter
ested IN the advancement of Montana by
the hearty encouragement of all that
fosters agricultural development.

Since the late Republican Administra-
tinn gave place to a Democratic regime
probably the most important and radical
change in public policy has been the
method adapted by the government in
eSacting from the favored corporations,
! known as land-grant railroads, the strict.
est compliance with Their charters, the
condition Of which the railroads had fall
en- in t., the habit of almost entirely
Ignoring whenever it suited their in
tercsts to do so. 1t is almost impossble
for the mind to conceive the magnitude
of the magnificent public domain re-
stored to the people under President
Clcvcland's Administration, for only last
week in the case Of the Atlantic and Pa
ci'ic railroads alone between twenty-five
and thirty millions acres of lands were
thrown open TO settlement to say nothing
of its effects upon number of other
land-grant railroads.

If the special election in Custer coun.
ty is true index of the sentiment
which prevails in this territory over the
calling of the extra session of the legis
laturc, it is evident that very little bust
ness will be transacted. The session
comes at time when all are busy, and
we still believe was unnecessary and
uncalled-for. However, now that it has
been called, we trust that the Solons will
lie able to see the necessity of doing a
limited amount of work conscicntiously
and carefully.

The Methodist Mission conference,
which has just close, its session, at
Butte, was attended by all but two of
the ministers Of this mission. The meet.
ing was one of unusual interest. The
report of the several ministers showed
fine increase in all the material interests
of the church. New churches and par
sonages have been built and old indebt-
etlness liquldatcd. In membership the
church shows favorable increase most
of this, however, IS from immigration
and not from accessions from the out
side. A general feeling seemed to pre-
vail that there was need of new methods
and renewed zeal in gathering converts.
In 1855 an enabling act had been passed

tana mission, upon two thirds vote, TO

came up early in the session and pro-
vokcd considerable discussion. 1t was
